Diagnosis of a vasculitic neuropathy depends on whether the patient first presents with multiple symptoms pointing at a systemic disorder or else primary neuropathic complaints. In the former case the patient is more likely to be assessed first by a rheumatologist and in the latter a neurologist or

Non-systemic vasculitic neuropathy (NSVN) is a diagnosis of elimination. When no systemic illness can be found, yet evidence of a vasculitic neuropathy exists, a diagnosis of non-systemic vasculitic neuropathy is made. It is a single-organ problem. A nerve biopsy is required in order to make the

Postsurgical inflammatory neuropathy is typically a multi-focal neuropathy which manifests thirty days after a surgical procedure. It mostly presents with motor and sensory symptoms. It is generally a self-limiting condition that has resolved with and without treatment.

There is an ongoing debate over this categorisation, particularly its overlap with the condition non-diabetic radiculoplexus neuropathy. This neuropathy involves a clinical picture where the nerve damage is distally predominant as demonstrated in a nerve biopsy.

Some patients with systemic vasculitis will have their multi-organ disease spread to the peripheral nervous system; this is primary vasculitic neuropathy. Some examples of systemic vasculitic disease are: IgA vasculitis, Hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis,

Warternberg migratory sensory neuropathy is typically a multi-focal neuropathy where there is pure sensory deficits. It is characterised by sudden-onset and chronicity as well as having a propensity for relapse. It generally resolves slowly with time.
